Though from outside the property looked dire, inside the hotel was entirely satisfactory, with rooms comfortable and well equipped. My room was two floors above the bar on the ground floor and remained noisy till after 3.30am. By far my biggest concern was the fire door just outside my room; it banged shut all night as other residents drifted in from their nighttime entertainment,

Pictures posted for this hotel are not of the hotel. Very misleading. 3 pictures are actually hotel pics. The front desk, the front entrance and the bathroom. All the other pics are not from this hotel. It’s old, floors are creating, door key is an actual key. Stairs with no elevator and small hallways that are hard to carry luggage through. After researching they the area it was found to be unsafe there. Would not advise. Staff was very friendly though

Great Hotel on a budget in central Dublin

Perfectly situated for the Aircoach stops in O’Connel Street. Clean, basic, friendly staff, good breakfast just around the corner from the hotel’s entrance. This is what you need for a few days in Dublin.

Staff was wonderful!! The room was clean and the hotel was located in a very central area. We did have a car and they have parking validation for 50% off at a nearby parking garage. Word of warning... the hotel is above a VERY loud bar that is open late. Our room vibrated from the music and the door to their smoking section of the bar was right next to our room. The music was like clash of the death metal bands lol... but i guess it added to the experience? Luckily for me, the music didn't bother me and we slept with the tv on to cover a little bit of the music.... but if you have a hard time sleeping with loud music and people talking, you won't enjoy your stay. If you're a go with the flow person... laugh it off.. or go down and check out the bar.. it's very unique!

This is a very old building. Very, very tiny rooms. It's not like what i saw in the pictures. It was close to lots of places. The noise was crazy. You don't get to sleep until the party ends. That would be anywhere from 3:30 am to 3:45 am. Then, 45 minutes later, people started showing up to catch their ride for work. But again, what do you expect when you visit Ireland. It was my very first time visiting there. The staff were fine when you had to deal with them.

I had two stays at Gate Hotel the first night the room was so hot I had to wet a towel over my legs to get to sleep. I asked not to be put in that room on my return trip but it seems it's a first in first served so I asked for another room. It was a floor up and you could here the garden Bar, but as I grow up opposite a pub this didn't worry me. It was much cooler. Clean room and helpful staff.

First.. stretchy place. Two.. no lift/elevator. Three.. above a bar so it's extremely noisy, I was not able to sleep at all! Constant noise throughout the entire night. Four.. extremely outdated. The amount we paid for this place is ridiculous! Almost $200! No way I would ever stay here. Spend the extra money and stay in the place behind this place called academy plaza. So much better!!! I would never stay in this place alone

Great stay for a low price

Before my trip I had read some of the reviews on here and was somewhat apprehensive about my upcoming stay. Overall I was, however, pleasantly surprised. The room was very spacious; I was travelling with two other friends and we got a double bed each in a triple room. The room was clean and in good overall condition. The hotel was in a good location, close to a tram stop and easy to access public transport to the airport etc. It was useful having the 24hr reception and felt secure. As others' have noted there was some noise from the street, but this didn't really affect us too much and were still able to sleep okay. Also the room was quite warm, but we stayed during one of the UK heatwaves, so this was unavoidable without air conditioning. I think, based on the price paid and based on the fact it is (at the time of writing this review) a 1 star hotel, it was very good value for money. As the saying goes, you get what you pay for, so if you are looking for lots of amenities then perhaps stay at a higher rated property, but the Gate Hotel is more than suitable for a budget friendly place to stay for a few nights.

Tiny bathroom, old building charm

The hotel and room were really cute, and the decor was kind of quirky. The noise from the bar next door and the street was very audible, though. And the bathroom was the size of a postage stamp - you had to sit sideways on the toilet.
